Croghan, Clark and the Crown: One Family’s Impact on the American Revolution
Tuesday, April 14
Croghan, Clark and the Crown: One Family’s Impact on the American Revolution  (Program)
1:00 pm
In-Person - 1000 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy Louisville KY
 
Presented by: Ronnie Dreistadt
 
When you think of genealogy, you think of family. Locally, there aren't many families as influential to our region as the Clark family. The Clark name is on everything: bridges, schools, cities, neighborhoods, streets...the list goes on and on!  But who was this family whose name is so prolific? 
 
This program centers on the Clark family, and by way of Locust Grove, the Croghan family, and how they made their mark nationally during the American Revolution; as well as locally, as they settled in Louisville to raise their families as brand-new Americans.
 
Ronnie Dreistadt serves as the Director of Education of Historic Locust Grove. Previously, Dreistadt worked at the Kentucky Derby Museum for 26 years, as well as the author of two books: "Lost Bluegrass: The History of a Vanishing Landscape" and "Wicked Tales from the Kentucky Derby". He lives in Sellersburg, IN with his wife and three children.

“River Stories”
Tuesday, May 12
“River Stories”  (Program)
1:00 pm
In-Person 1000 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy Louisville KY
 
Presented by: Mick Sullivan
 
River Stories: Join us to explore two Louisville stories! First, Charles Wilkins Short was a 19th century naturalist who made clippings that are preserved in collections around the world. One flower he collected in Louisville was used in recent years by a Boston-based scientist to recreate the scent of an extinct plant. Second is the story of the Longest Painting in the World by John Banvard. This painting was the first successful "moving panorama" which he debuted in Louisville before touring the world with it. This portion includes a 12-minute interpretive performance with moving images, music and storytelling.
